Boogie Pilgrim (remastered 2017) Songtext
von Elton John

Crime in the streets
I read about it everyday in the papers
And justice needs and justice wants

But just in times, yes, too late here
Oh, feels like I wasn′t born there
(Feels like I wasn't born there)
I feel just like a Boogie Pilgrim, oh, huh, yeah

Boogie Pilgrim, hustled to get it, to get it together
Down on the jive talk, down on the weather
Boogie Pilgrim, oh, brother I never felt better

No, I never felt better

Low life′s complete
When you've lived that way out on the sidewalk
(Walking on the sidewalk everyday)
Oh, I got the speed, baby, you got the need, ah,uh

But the need in me needs nothing
(But you know that I need nothing)
But I know that you all want something
Oh, just like Boogie Pilgrim, Boogie Pilgrim


Boogie, Boogie, Boogie Pilgrim, yeah
Oh, lord I never felt better, yeah
(Don't you know that I never felt better)

Yeah, I know I′m better
(Don′t you know that I never felt better)
No, I'm never, never, never felt better
(Don′t you know that I never felt better)

Don't you know that I never felt better
Don′t you know that I never felt better
Don't you know that I never felt better
Don′t you know that I never felt better

Boogie, Boogie, Boogie Pilgrim, yeah
Oh, lord I never felt better, yeah
(Don't you know that I never felt better)

Ooh hoo, ooh hoo, ooh hoo

Boogie, Boogie, Boogie Pilgrim, yeah
Oh, lord I never felt better, yeah
(Don't you know that I never felt better)

Yeah
(You know that I never felt better)
